Hey gang, I was a bit experimental in this video trying to expand more on the concepts and worry less about keeping things really tight and concise. What did you think and do you prefer this style? Please share any feedback you have :)

[@PodBites_clips]

Your videos are getting better every time, perfect ❤

[@0R3NJ1]

was surprised to hear you say good shit lol

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Yes, this is nice - a half-hour discursive video talking around key aspects of a topic is really nice, and allows for reflection as you reinforce the points being made.

[@karol_04]

I would actually love some unedited content from you, something Hamza-style. Young viewers might now have the attention span for that but I'm sure some people would also find that valuable

[@joanabail]

I’ve been watching your videos since 2020, when I was searching for effective study techniques during my masters. Because I watch you regularly, your videos something feel repetitive (which is ok, since the messages are important) but I feel like this is the best video since a very long time. Thank you!! I’m excited to read your book soon ☺️🙏

[@lewishowes]

Thanks Ali! So glad my book resonated with you and hope everyone here enjoys it as well 🙏

Ali is all over my recommendations right now. I'm not complaining though. He's the reason why I finally got thr courage to start my own KZbin channel. His videos now just add another level of inspiration. So... thanks Ali!

[@karlbodmer4368]

Great video, I love all this content where creators talk about making money, becoming successful, etc... I am currently doing some dropshipping as a side hustle (started with almost nothing), and it's paying really good last few months. I have north of 10k USD income each month :) Consistency and hard work (with a little bit of winnerzila of course) will always be a good path to success. I am still not making millions and millions but I will be there one day.

[@markkelderman2439]

10k would be enough for me bro haha, do you recommend I start with Winnerzilla as well?

[@warmachine6063]

Hey man how did you get started? Any books / videos you paid attention to to get started?

[@RuckyArt]

I really love the long form videos, Ali. Keep them coming. Whatever feels better for you to do will certainly resonate with the right people and that way the flame you've got for producing this wonderfully valuable content doesn't die out, which is great. Awesome prompts, can't wait to journal about all of this.

My GPA: Business & Career= 6.0 (Winning) Relationships= 6.2 (Winning) Wellness= 3.0 (Rebuilding) My Meaningful Mission: I want to help people improve their mental health and therefore live a better, happier life. The problem I’m trying to solve is that people feel like there’s no solution to their mental health struggles. I want to help as many people to see there is a way out and that they can heal. I’m passionate about helping people and it plays to my strengths because I’m an empathetic active listener. I want my legacy to be that when people talked with me they felt heard and supported.

[@viktoriaberg8706]

I am reading your book right now, and did the Wheel of life evalutation at your suggestion around the new year. It helped me see that I need goals and strategies in the areas of relationships and health. Workwise I'm doing better, which is how I connected with your work. I became a nurse at 53, and now, at 57, I am almost done with my Masters in eldercare and I intend to become a specialist with the mindset of an entrepreneur, showing my work (yes, I read all of Austin Kleon's work too, when they came out) and working with different projects to improve how we ease the end of life for our patients. Which is a real calling for me, one I found after years of being a disgruntled systems analyst trying to write a novel.... I am inspired by all your videos, but also every time a bit sad that you don't find medicine as fulfilling; I would love to work with a doctor like you! 🥰

[@dafneyjimenez1591]

I really love the longer content. It does feel like a podcast and the way you worked through the exercises with us, significantly helped my understanding and fulfillment from the video. Your videos are really great and I will be implementing your suggestions in hopes of making this the best year of my life ! Thankyou

[@donniep.1513]

I’m going to check out this book!! My scores were: Business/Career: 5.2 Relationships: 7.4 Wellness: 9.6

[@Flick_ball]

Ali's approach to productivity is amazing. I bought his book. It reminded me of his advice to stand out on KZbin. While generic, he implements it in his businesses, emphasizing enjoying every step. In the self-help niche, where discipline and hard work dominate, Ali stands out, showcasing that enjoying yourself leads to effortless productivity.

[@Christina-vd3ow]

Really good review. You convinced me to buy a copy. 😊📚

[@ColleenPatricia2]

[@branchoutwithmeggo]

I was definitely impressed by the length of this video - I always love your book summaries because it makes me add a book to my list, and every few minutes or so I was like …. Is he done yet? But not in a bad way - I was so happy to be getting extra information about how you felt about this book in particular! Thanks for the positive vibes in this one!

[@sylverxyz]

Really appreciated the longer format, going through the exercises with us and sharing your own experience. Made it feel like a 1 on 1 with a tutor

[@user-pr4js2qr2i]

Hello Ali, I always watch your videos to the end! I’m in the 55 to 60 year old bracket. I’ve been following you for over two years now. I thought this was a terrific video because each part of it was interesting, insightful and worth watching. Yes, it was longer than some of your other ones but I didn’t get bored. Good luck with your travels. Thank you.

[@isalutfi]

Glad to see the notification. Am here watching. Thank you Ali for sharing this great topic, steps to unlocking our full potential! 🧡🌟

[@Thebigbiscuito]

I really appreciate your honesty and humility in showing the areas you are working on & your obituary was more helpful than i thought it would be for me. I want to do this exercise with my husband so we can succeed together. Thank you!

[@yasminfernandesreis2770]

I loved the format! The more specific sessions explaining the exercises were super helpful. Also, it was more spontaneous and we were able to see how much the book resonated with you. Many thanks, Ali!

[@linamartin1805]

I really liked the new video format. I'd especially appreciate a mix between longer and shorter/condensed videos. Thank you so much Ali and keep on going! I've been following your KZbin Journey for quite some years now and there has always been something new I've learned, thank you!

[@sarah-el]

I loved this form it's really enriching... Much more gems in it And I also love how vulnerable and honest you are about yourself it shows that you also are in constant progress in your life. Anyway keep up the good work and thank you for your insights 😊

[@Orangew665]

Thank you for your video. I have watched your video since uni and now I’m at the workforce. Your videos have been helpful throughout the years. I personally think the topics - happiness , to find your full potential, fulfilment and goal settings can mean listening to our inner voice and act on it. I found your videos particularly useful as they bring consistent information around the topic from different angles. For me as a young adult, I often feel tempted to fall into the same loop of going back to a comfortable and boring position. But watching you video really helps me as a reminder to listen and act align with my core value. I also believe doing so will get us further in our career and fulfilment. Keep going !

[@mohdnoman7924]

Hey Ali, thank you so much for creating such an insightful video! Your in-depth book explanations are really helpful. Please continue making these long and detailed videos, they make understanding complex concepts so much easier. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Ruthi2310]

Before you asked a question at the end, I was thinking of leaving a comment anyway to say that I really enjoyed this extended video. I enjoyed what felt like a slower and more intentional pace and how you shared so much of your own experience doing these exercises. This has to be one of my favourite of your videos ☺️ Thank you also for bringing my attention to this book. The exercises you highlighted were all super thought provoking. For the GPA, I got 6, 5 and 3.8 so there is some work to do for sure. Brilliant video!

[@emmyfrilou]

Hi Ali! I think this version is a great compliment to the other book videos. For some books, it is convenient with simple highlights. But this version urged me to actually do the work. Not just listen and move on to the next part of my life. So now I have my GPA as a basis for reviewing my goals this year, and I have also started to dig deeper into my meaningful mission. This felt like doing the homework together with a like-minded friend that you don’t know 😊🎉

[@christyforest141]

This is my favorite video from you among all your videos that I've watched throughout the years. There are so many insights and takeaways from this clip. My favorite takeaway might be "career, relationship, and wellness GPA" and also figuring out my meaningful mission. Thank you, Ali, for all the hard work that you've poured into this video. I genuinely think you're a great teacher when it comes to elaborating on difficult concepts and helping others. Your'e amazing and it really makes me want to buy the book to learn more about the life-changing concepts and ideas. Have a great day, Ali, you rock :)

[@umar_aez]

I love the longer version of book reviews Ali. I can feel your soul as you speak more when you share the insights of your mind, which really resonates well with me. Thank you Ali ❤

[@akvilio]

Thank you so much! The GPA score got me really scratching my head about few things in my relationship and wealthiness. Longer videos feel a bit more personal and conversation-like (in a really good way) rather than short, more condensed ones. I’ve started the ideal week planning with the annual calendar and it’s a game changer! Thanks again❤❤❤

[@krishnenthuk6997]

This was truly great ❤ As someone who have followed you for a long time and being motivated by you, but many times i would be stuck on how to even begin my self discovery journey. Happy to say,this is it! I connected with it a lot and it was super clear and loud and felt a personal connection to you too. Thankyou❤

[@eunoia921]

Personally, this is the only video which I watched all the way from the start to the end without even looking at the progress bar. Absolutely loved the way you did it Ali. I would love to see more book summaries in the same style.

[@siomaracramer3234]

I like how you can break down difficult concepts and make them easier to understand. I enjoyed doing an exercise from one of your videos. The exercise was called the wheel of life.

[@authentic_aly]

Hey Ali, I absolutely ❤ long videos. As a person who thinks so much everyday, having these prompts and activities helps to consider what’s important in life and to ground myself. Please do more they are so fun and helpful!

[@yuhzuri]

I like the longer format of this video, it felt like sitting down with a friend talking about this book they read, whilst not loosing the beloved productivity based structure of your videos to pass on the key messages^^ would love to see more content with this calming vibe

I loved the longer video and love to hear more of what you are thinking, taking away, applying. Your insight is valuable to me!

Hey Ali the thing I liked about this video is that, the quality of life is directly related to the quality of questions one asks. I completely agree.

[@alignwithally]

I enjoyed the change. I like how in-depth you were about each book and the fact that you shared your own thoughts and experiences. I see how well you connect with books like this and see you enjoy it, which makes for a fun watch. I also just love doing journal prompts and writing my thoughts down so thank you for the questions afterward. Overall 100%

25:02 Hello Ali!! I'm changing my life now, thank you for inspiring me with this video! I like this concept on being more detailed about a book, longer videos about the book is much worth watching for me. Keep this experiment up! It worked. I love it that you expand it even more to see each detail what the book is really talking about:)

Thanks Ali, I think the format is great, love when you give advice but mix it with your personal experience, the honesty of the video, it feels really good and deep. Length is actually perfect. When a video is too long I put it in hold for later so this made me watch it as soon as I saw it. Very practical advise . Thanks again

I like this format a lot. It felt similar to your 2024 video where you walked people through the wheel of life (myself included). I don’t think you have to apply the format to all book reviews forever, but use the video format as part of your content toolkit…apply it to the things that you see fit. Personally, I get more involved in this style and I have shared your 2024 video with others who don’t know you…and now they do!

[@debbiemccrossan3809]

It got me thinking that I need to read some self development books and Lewis Howes looks like a good place to start! Thank you, I appreciate the sincerity you convey in your vlogs in your mission being to help others achieve the life they want. I enjoyed this format and paid more attention that I would normally because of the points and exercises given and the thoughts it provoked.

[@gabrielpastran7293]

Hi Ali, I just wanted to say that your conceptual framework to create ideas and effectively present them through your KZbin channels has positively impacted my life through helping me in various business context life lessons. I am a student studying public health currently and I am integrating your lessons in any way I can through various forms since you started. I also admire your consistency to help others. I personally think helping others gives oneself joy, and I most definitely see that in you. You have helped me a lot, and I have tons of notes based off your videos. God bless you Ali!

[@jessicahornsey4792]

Love the long form vid, specifically because it is more podcast-like and I can fill more mundane tasks with education (“how can I make this fun?” 😉). What stood out to me most in this one is that so much advice is the same, it’s just packaged differently and that’s a GOOD thing; everyone speaks a different “language”, despite the fact that they’re speaking the same language, if you get my drift. Big life lessons like these need to come in different forms to be understood by different brains. Exercises can have the same essential objective, but have more or less of an effect depending on who does them. I guess that can also contribute to us getting a bit obsessed with productivity/success content, too, though, because consuming it makes us feel productive/successful (essentially “fake” productivity/success), which, in turn, causes us to pay less attention to what’s being said, so we don’t actually recognise that the same essential messages are being sent. It goes over our head because we like the short term pleasure of feeling sophisticated over the long term gain of actually doing the work (calling myself out here, too!). Aaaaanyway, thanks for the content, I promise I’ll act on it 😁

[@YellowFlare]

My scores were: - Business/Career 6.6 - Relationships: 5.2 - Wellness: 4.2 I preferred the longer format and really appreciate the effort you put into helping others. After going through these exercises, I'll definitely be coming up with some more long term plans to improve the three domains of my life. First step is wellness, which coincidentally lines up with some goals that I've decided on recently. Thanks!

[@aheadwithstyle2520]

Hey Ali! I absolutely LOVED this style! I could listen to your voice for ever. I put my AirPods in and listen to you when I need motivation to tidy my house and put tidy ‘systems’ in place. The essential thing you provide is hope. And that is what is missing when I look around at an untidy house and lack the motivation to tidy: we feel hopeless. This longer style video was great to accompany me long enough to get one room sorted 🤣 loved the mellow relaxing music too. Remember long videos talking about productivity helps people while they are trying to do productive things (tidying/sorting/planning etc)

[@ex.elz4]

The long videos are great! I can truly become engrossed into the content and engage with it. I spent about an hour and a bit writing my responses to all of the questions and now I‘m about to create a summary to hang on my wall. It truly felt like a conversation where I was taking action to improve my life with a friend. Thank you very much.

I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this type of video was longer than usual. It's nice to get a deeper look at a book; as a big fan of the podcast, naturally I find myself enjoying the longer content. I do find this gives me more of an idea of whether I would enjoy reading the book myself as well as more detail on the actionable parts of the book. The shorter type content might suit other platforms in the type of content you've been posting more lately. Love your work.

[@danceandbalance]

I have watch so many of your videos and this has been one of my favourites! Thanks for all the work you do!

[@argeliamoran6132]

Yes, loving the new approach. I feels when you do book reviews you try to summarize what you read by not only sharing everything you will take away from the book but also what others can take away from the book as well. This is helpful because a broader audience is more likely to want to read it than only those who are in your current situation.

[@janiceclayton3538]

I am a very recent subscriber. I discovered you through your appearance on High Performance Podcast. What struck me was the positivity that you exude. It’s contagious. You also provide simple practical steps on how to actually put these concepts in place in your life. Others talk very airy fairy and I’m left wondering how do I do this?? I like both formats. Each has their place. 👏🏻

[@amirthvibin1460]

I think this is one of your best videos or at least the best book review , the way you were honest and thoughtful of everything you said. Everything you said you meant it and were not afraid of it , it didn’t seem formulaic or written to avoid judgement people , you were truly portraying yourself. Great one. The length depends on you it’s your art. If you think it should be 5 mins long let it be and if it’s 50 that’s good too. Do it the way that makes you enjoy the process. I personally gained a lot of value so this 26 minutes was worth my time and wouldn’t have minded if it was longer.

[@MarwaHaneefa]

Loved it Ali! You are such an inspiration. As much or as little as our feedback matters to you, please know that we feel that you truly are 'disarmingly intelligent yet always humble'. Thank you Ali for all you love and hardwork. Much love and respect ❤

This longer video format is reeeally good. I like it even better than the short fast ones. It feels like I'm reading a book or listening to a podcast. Also, this video took me like an hour to finish becaus I keep going back to think about answers for all of the questions, such a good and filled-with-knowladge video, love it :) I barely add any videos to my "Favourites" playlist, I had to add this one though.

[@kathrynmcclatchy]

At the end of the video... I appreciate you sharing your exercises and what resonates with you and why.

[@Diushok]

Ali, I enjoyed this format a lot. The reason is the same as in why it is better to read books versus to just read the quick summaries. New ideas map on the brain much better when they come together with emotions, examples and just discussions overall. Thanks for doing this! ❤

I’ve been watching your videos for years, and this last year the vibe and energy of the chanel took a strange path or at least that was my feeling. Congratulations, this feels authentic and the most important honest. Big hug from Barcelona, here a philosophy student content creator. Blesses

I love when you shared that one of the questions you caught yourself asking recently is "How can I get them to like me?" - it feels very relatable and I appreciate the vulnerability, because I catch myself doing that too. I also liked that you shared what your personal mission is, cus it really makes me understand why you create the content that you create. I love all of your videos and have watched you for many years but this was the first one I felt called to comment on. Please make more videos like this where you share more of your personal thoughts, as much as you're comfortable with. ❤

This is one of most helpful video for me so far in KZbin. I also read a lot of books, I learned many lessons from them. But this content is really great for me. Keep the good works up. Keep going.

I’ve watched this twice now and have found it to be instrumental in my goal-forming process. Thank you for breaking those down so concisely! I do enjoy that it was longer and that you shared your work, as well. That was encouraging and inspiring for me, as I struggle with defining my goals, too. And also, thank you for advertising Brilliant on your videos. I’d been searching for a platform to refresh my STEM knowledge and it has worked out perfectly. You advertise quality content that you personally believe in, and I find that refreshing in the world of trying to make a living on KZbin. Thank you for what you do!

Watching until the end really felt magical ..thank you for this video

[@meditatewithmihika]

Ali the long form video is great because you’re also partially giving us a glimpse into how you apply the concept personally to your context and highlight greater details of why that section was great for you! Thank you for doing what you do and serving us so well :))))

[@barisibis8778]

Great video Ali, happy new year and I wish you the best for all endeavours

[@hsgafksajgfkasfdsa]

Hey Ali, I really liked the longer format here. Made me actually wind down and pay more attention to what you were saying. It felt like a personal lecture from you about the book. And it gave me more time to resonate with what you were saying, instead of just watching fancy animations. Thanks for this video, i’ve got some prompts to answer. Cheers

[@allisonm858]

I enjoyed this longer form video. I think all of the content you shared was really important and helpful to share, so it was worth hanging in there (and even coming back over 3 sittings) to finish the whole thing.

[@junaidafridi4084]

Thanks Ali, its one of the finest reviews I have gone through and never felt lost. Your piecemeal approach actually compelled me to buy the book. On another note, subscribing your channel is worth every second. Very well done.

[@amirthaas.2895]

Hi Ali, firstly thank you for taking your time to help and educate others on the information of this great book. I really appreciate this length of video for books because it gives me enough information to decide whether to read the book in question. So please do continue this length (about 30 minutes) of video for book reviews.

[@enormouspower7623]

That type of long form detailed video is so much inspiring and insightful.. 26 min video but it took me about 1 hour to finish because I was taking notes . Thanks Ali .

[@londonlvs]

You just straight spoke to me, I am moved, its inspirational, therefore I chose this format over other the ones.

[@debjitsaha7191]

I love your book summary videos.. It helps to think more deeply and focus on where i am going wrong and what to improve on

[@pearllll178]

Love the length! I can see you really enjoyed the book and everything you shared is very helpful to me. I'll definetly check out this book!

[@smaaahen]
